About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to continue traveling and help others to do the same. Hosting travelers is great inspiration for me to get out and about, as well!

ABOUT ME

I was raised outside a small town and my first time traveling was in high school, to Ecuador. I then burst out and went to Mexico, around Europe, Peru, and South Korea.

Now my life is filled with teaching, sports, and smaller adventures. I frequently play volleyball, soccer, ultimate frisbee, and go hiking. I really love being active, but during the school year, my down-time often involves movies :)

I joined CouchSurfing while on a trip to Colorado, and I think it will be really fun to meet people through hosting.. espcially the kind of people that are extroverted enough to be willing to sleep on my couch, haha. This will be my first time hosting, and it should be a fun experience!
